Suggested September bulletin board from Hayes School Publishing Co.

This is a September classroom bulletin board suggestion for teachers from the groovy 1978 book Hayes Tips and Clues for Every Bulletin Board, published by Hayes School Publishing Company of Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. I'll be posting from this nostalgia-laden, spiral-bound tome each month as we work our way through the 2017-18 school year.

Here's the description for this board:

DON'T MISS THE FUN!
COMES TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!

The message is clear: "Come to school and have fun in learning!" Make the balloons by using large circles of construction paper. Use pictures cut from magazines to show school activities and glue onto "balloons." Be certain to main good color contrast between "balloons" and magazine pictures.

Pro tip: On second thought, if you thinking of putting an old-school display like this together for your pupils this fall, you might want to skip the balloon theme entirely. Especially red balloons. Also, the paper-boat-making activity is right out. Spend time teaching your children to fear nothing. And make sure they have access to plenty of good stones. Urge them to walk home in groups.
